Resourceful beauty

Chapter 340 Pearl
With the direction, and with Chu Yuan's lightning-like overall planning, how Concubine Tian got sick, was bedridden and then died, was quickly found out.

Sure enough, he couldn't escape the relationship with Concubine Jing.

According to the information obtained by Chu Yuan, Concubine Jing was drafted into the palace, and then, during the Chinese New Year, the Western Regions presented an annual gift of friendship and trade, and Concubine Tian was one of the six beauties presented by the Western Regions.

King Yao took a good look at it, and Concubine Tian entered the palace as a nobleman to accompany him, and the other five were given to the nobles of the family who entered the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve.

At that time, Concubine Jing was still noble.

They were both newcomers and the most favored concubines at that time. It stands to reason that these two should be hostile, but what surprised everyone was that they soon became good sisters.

When Mrs. Tian was at bedtime, she would occasionally mention Mrs. Jing, and King Yao would announce that Mrs. Jing would come to play the piano.

If King Yao went to Jingguiren's palace, Jingguiren would also mention Tianguiren, and when he was in a good mood, Yaowang would announce that Tianguiren went over and danced lightly.

For a while, in the harem, the two even had the reputation of "Tranquil Twins", but most of the reputations were just jokes made by others.

Soon, Tian Gui was pregnant, but before she found out, the miscarriage had already occurred.

During the time when Nobleman Tian had a miscarriage, Nobleman Jing always accompanied and relieved her, so the depressed mood did not last long, and soon Nobleman Tian was favored again.

The next year, both of them were named concubines at the same time.

There are many new and strange things in the Western Regions. When there is nothing to do, Concubine Tian and Concubine Jing will talk about them. Sometimes when the interest comes, the two will make incense together.

And Concubine Tian began to feel unwell since then. After the winter became cold, Concubine Tian contracted typhoid fever and became bedridden.

By the time she realized something was wrong, she was already terminally ill. At that time, she had doubts in her heart, but after all, she had reached the final stage. Maybe there was still a trace of sisterhood left in her heart. Concubine Tian didn't say anything, quietly out of this world.

And Concubine Tian's last words before leaving was to ask Concubine Jing to return all the things he gave her in the past.

"Is there something strange about those things?"

Fang Ruxuan understood the key point.

Chu Yuan nodded, "The two of us made incense together that day, some were used to dye clothes, some were used for boudoir pleasure, and some naturally had other uses. I'm afraid Concubine Tian didn't think that one day she would be ruined in her home. on something you made yourself."

"What do you mean, the poison on the father's body did not come from outside the palace, but Concubine Jing or someone else made it herself?"

She didn't expect Concubine Jing to have such abilities, Fang Ruxuan felt more and more that there were dragons and crouching tigers hidden in this palace.

Chu Yuan nodded, "It's an elegant thing for the ladies in the boudoir to learn how to make incense. However, Concubine Tian comes from the Western Regions and was trained to serve people with sex. The incense she made , cannot be compared.”

"Then, the poison on the father's body..."

Although I found out the old things back then, how King Yao was poisoned, what kind of poison he was poisoned, and how to resolve it, but now there is still no progress. Fang Ruxuan turned to look at Chu Yuan and said: "You can tell Mrs. Hua about this." Is it? What can she do?"

Chu Yuan frowned, "Unless we have that kind of poison in hand, otherwise, based on the clues we have now, trying to diagnose and resolve the poison on the father's body is tantamount to fishing for moons in water."

"I have something in hand..."

Muttering, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help thinking of the time when Sangshen sneaked into Jinghua Palace and stole Lu Rufei's jade plaque.

"Why don't we let Mu Mian come to the palace to see if we can start with Chongxi Palace and think of a way?"

Fang Ruxuan came up with an idea.

Chu Yuan hesitated, "How could Concubine Jing keep such things by her side and cause trouble for herself? Besides, now I can only be sure that Concubine Tian's death was caused by her, and that the poison my father was poisoned by It's not related to her but I don't know it yet, if it shows my feet, it will scare the snake away."

In a dilemma, Fang Ruxuan lost her mind for a moment.

After a while, Chu Yuan made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "I'd rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go. Since everyone has doubts, why don't we check them all."

Fang Ruxuan looked suspicious, and Chu Yuan explained: "Didn't you say that the fragrances of Concubine Fang and Noble Ming are the same? Since Concubine Jing can make incense, and the father fainted twice before and after, it is also the same as that of Concubine Fang and Noble Ming." Related, then, let’s check it out from them, as to whether we can find any results, we’ll talk about it later.”

Although there are some suspicions of going to the doctor in a hurry, it is still a solution, Fang Ruxuan nodded.

Just as she was about to call Sangsan, asking her to deliver a message to Mumian, asking her to come to the palace for a few days, Fang Ruxuan felt a sharp pain in her lower body, and her stomach suddenly became heavy like lead.

The arm was held vigorously, and when Chu Yuan turned around, he saw Fang Ruxuan's forbearance frowning, and immediately understood what happened.

He carried Fang Ruxuan sideways and sent her to the delivery room of Dongbei Hall, Chu Yuan turned around and called Ding Xiang.

In an instant, the hall of Xuanyi became bustling in an orderly manner.

Within a cup of tea, Concubine Han arrived. At Fengming Palace, Queen Zhou rushed over after receiving the letter. In the main hall of Xuanyi Hall, everyone sat quietly, each speechless.

Calling Hu Moyan to accompany him, Chu Yuan carried Brother Ming to the courtyard.

"Father, mother..."

As if he heard his mother's voice, Brother Ming pointed to the brightly lit East Side Hall, looked at Chu Yuan with a puzzled face, and seemed to ask: What's wrong with mother?
"Brother Ming is going to have a younger sibling soon, isn't Gao happy?"

His palms were sweating, and his eyes kept looking at the closed gate of the East Side Hall. Chu Yuan let out a few breaths, then smiled and asked Brother Ming.

"flourishing?"

As if he was deeply impressed by Wu Xiuyan's daughter Qianqian, Ming'er's eyes instantly burst into a bright light.

Chu Yuan laughed and nodded, "Are you happy?"

"Ah."

The little guy nodded heavily, and when he turned his head to look at the East Side Hall, his eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky above his head.

In the East Palace, Fang Ruxuan was lying on the delivery bed, sweating profusely.

Pain flooded over like a tide, and the smell in the room was getting heavier and heavier, but the midwife watched it twice in a row, and said that the cervix was not dilated enough.

The cervix must be dilated to the width of ten fingers to give birth to the baby. Now that it is not dilated enough, it means that it is not yet time to give birth. Fang Ruxuan no longer dared to cry out the pain and closed her mouth tightly, but the pain on her face But it made those around me feel heart-wrenching pain when they saw it.

When the pain receded, Fang Ruxuan gasped for breath, ready to face the pain of being torn apart in the next round.

Finally, when Fang Ruxuan was so exhausted that she was about to fall asleep, the midwife said "It's all right", which immediately cheered Fang Ruxuan up.

After entering the delivery room, the bowl of poached eggs with brown sugar played a huge role at this moment. Fang Ruxuan followed the instructions of the two midwives, exhaled and inhaled vigorously, while Ding Xiang and Su Ye ordered others to prepare hot water cloth Swaddling baby and other things, while staring at the actions of the two midwives, as if they would pounce on them if their eyes were wrong.

However, after such a heart-wrenching experience, how could Chu Yuan let Fang Ruxuan go back to social insurance?

This time, the two midwives were extremely safe.

Chu Yuan didn't know how long he had walked in the courtyard with Brother Ming in his arms, only occasionally heard Fang Ruxuan's fragmented cry of pain, but the sound stopped abruptly.

I just felt that after a long time, even the cloud above my head had drifted to nowhere. In the delivery room, there was a loud cry of a baby.

This was the first time Chu Yuan faced the arrival of the child. The previous time, when he rushed back, Brother Ming had already been born and wrapped up. But this time, the cry of the child made Chu Yuan feel a sense of relief in his heart. There was an indescribable strange feeling, and a few traces of crystallization leaked from the eyes.

"younger sister……"

Holding his father's neck with one hand, Brother Ming pointed to the direction where the crying sound came from with the other.

Behind her, Concubine Han pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This child, does he like his sister so much?"

Turning around to see that it was Concubine Han, Brother Ming grinned.

The next moment, the door of the delivery room opened, and one of the midwives came out holding a big red swaddle, saluted Chu Yuan, Queen Zhou, and Concubine Han, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the crown prince, congratulations to the crown prince!" , the Crown Princess gave birth to a little princess, she is fat and white, she looks like she was carved out of a beauty mold, she is extremely beautiful."

"It really made you guess..."

Chu Yuan scratched Brother Ming's nose and said jokingly.

Wobbling restlessly in Chu Yuan's arms, Brother Ming eagerly wanted to see the baby in the swaddle, but when Chu Yuan put him down on the ground, he tiptoed onto the midwife who was squatting down shoulder.

Chu Yuan glanced back at the thick-haired, red and wrinkled baby in the swaddle, and with a gentle smile, strode into the delivery room.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Fang Ruxuan's hair was already soaked in sweat on the delivery bed, and it was weakly stuck to her forehead and cheeks, but her eyes were full of satisfaction.

"It's a daughter..."

With a hint of hoarseness and exhaustion in her voice, Fang Ruxuan burst into an extremely gentle smile.

Chu Yuan nodded, leaned over and kissed Fang Ruxuan lightly on the forehead, "Xuan'er, thank you."

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, feeling drowsy, but she couldn't bear to fall asleep like this, so she asked, "Have you thought about your daughter's name?"

Chu Yuan broke into a big smile, "Wan'er, how is it? You are as graceful and charming as you."

As he said that, Chu Yuan leaned closer to Fang Ruxuan's ear and whispered, "Not only the name, but I've even thought about her future title. Let's call her Mingzhu, okay? Like a jewel like a treasure, our daughter, no matter when, will be It is the treasure we hold in our hands.”

"Princess Pearl..."

Recited softly, Fang Ruxuan fell asleep with a sweet smile.
